I just wonder, given you don't want a valve sound, and at low power you've got the class D sound you want, how much more class D power would do the trick. I'd be tempted to temporarily try slaving another amp/cab off your existing one just to see. Another thought is your 800W amp 800W at 4ohms and you actually have an 8ohm cab? I'm wondering if that is the case whether a 4ohm cab or 2x 8ohm cabs would give you more headroom? Good luck!

Thomann have them for sale at £435 at the moment.

I'm always amazed at the caring thoughtful comments people make on bc. When I'm not learning songs to play with bands i just play whatever comes into my head. Often diliberately playing as badly as i can to see what happens. After 15 minutes of not going anywhere something new and interesting usually emerges. Something that often tells me how I'm feeling that day. Good brain therapy. I hope the chemo works.

The complication of all the presets hasn't really gone for me, so i use it as it came out of the box, i don't use effects much at all so one of effects I've turned into a 100hz bump control using the parametric eq fx. It really works well with the barefaced 12 inch cabs. Another thing i love is the bluetooth audio, with a super midget cab i can play along with band rehearsal recordings beamed from my phone. I've learned a lot about what eq settings work in the mix, something i never have time to do during rehearsals.

I couldn't make out the pics very well but i suspect the thing is a NTC thermistor. They are used to limit the big surge current as the capacitors are charged at initial switch on. Leaving it out might mean the mains fuse blows on switch on. If this happens you could try anti surge fuse. PS they are designed to run hot, so don't panic!

Thanks for that really good explanation. I think it would work for me, i wouldn't be adjusting monitor mixes mid song!

How do you set the monitor mixes. With the xr18 you get a different set of faders for each mix, guess you won't get that with the l20 unless they're motorised faders?

Ah, i havent tried my eub yet.

how do you eq on the fly, on the bass or on the panel? Doing it on the panel if you've set a preset what you see on the knobs isn't what you're actully getting. Now whilst gigging i would be far too confused!

Have got rather confused with all the presets and options available so have just decided to use it straight as it comes. An amp with a nice compressor, drive, 3 effects built in and a blooming on off switch on the front, not often seen these days! Got it for £350 from bass bros. Well pleased! First gig on Saturday.

I have a unity 700 head I've been meaning to put up for sale for ages pm me if it's of interest

Thank you!

I'd love to hear a comparison of the darkglass v boss

The graphics eq is in the System settings section. Does that mean it's a global setting for all presets?

Too true but the foh will lose the fx eq etc. Fingers crossed a firmware upgrade will allow a bit more control of the hpf routing.
